Avis Netherlands

Avis operates car rental services throughout the Netherlands, offering personal cars, minibuses (up to 9 seats), and trucks for rent. The company maintains multiple branches across the country including locations in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag, and other cities, with dedicated services at major airports. Customers can book online or by phone and rent for periods ranging from half-days to long-term subscriptions.

The rental process involves online booking or telephone reservation, with pickup and return at any Avis location. A security deposit (waarborgsom) is required at pickup, with minimum amounts of €250 for cars, €350 for vans, and €750 for trucks up to class T3OK. Deposits can be paid by debit card (PIN) for mini and economy vehicles at selected locations, or by credit card for larger classes. At airport locations, credit card payment is mandatory.

Avis provides optional add-ons including satellite navigation, child seats, towing hitches, one-way rental fees (€25 surcharge for vans, €60 for trucks when returned to a different location), and delivery/collection services. Fuel is provided full-tank and must be returned full; additional kilometre charges apply if standard daily allowances are exceeded. Insurance options include damage waiver and third-party liability coverage.

The company operates a young fleet with vehicles averaging under 9 months old. Rental terms include: minimum age 21 for drivers with at least one year's licence experience, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup (thereafter €65 maximum cancellation fee applies), and the ability to drive into 16 European countries including Belgium, Germany, France, and Spain. Avis operates 24/7 roadside assistance and is a member of the BOVAG trade association.
